Wherein, the fundamental block diagram of linear transverse calibrator is as shown in figure 3, it is by multistage tapped delay line, variable gain
The linear system of circuit and summer composition.The cycle T of symbol is divided between its tap, its current value the signal received
Linear superposition is done by filter coefficient with past value, and using the sum of generation as output.

Then output signal y (n) can be expressed as
In formula, the transposition of upper angle " T " representing matrix.
As can be seen from the above equation, the coefficient vector w (n) of the result of output sequence and input signal vector x (n) and calibrator
Related, input signal is distorted after hardware corridor as x (n);Calibrator coefficient vector w (n) should be according to hardware corridor
The change of characteristic be designed, make x (n) make the signal of output dry without intersymbol in sample point after linear transverse calibrator
It disturbs.Linear gauging device coefficient vector can be obtained by derivation to be determined by the transmission function of hardware corridor completely, if hardware corridor
Characteristic changed, corresponding coefficient vector also changes therewith, just can guarantee after equilibrium in this way on sampling time without code
Between interfere.
Further, linear transverse calibrator passes through following public affairs according to the calibration received training sequence of each receiving channel of antenna
Formula calculates and stores the calibration factor of each antenna transmission channel:

Specifically, the principle of adaptive calibration device is according to certain criterion and algorithm with error sequence e (n) to its coefficient w
(n) it is adjusted, finally makes cost (target) function of adaptive calibration device minimum, achieve the purpose that optimal equalization.Actually answer
In, calibration factor can pass through Zero Forcing or minimum mean square error criterion (minimum mean square error, MMSE)
It obtains.For Zero Forcing, adjusting calibrator coefficient makes all sample value shock responses after stablizing have the smallest intersymbol interference;
And the calibrator coefficient adjustment of MMSE criterion is square between desired signal d (n) and calibrator output signal y (n) in order to make
Error is minimum.Linear transverse calibrator either based on MMSE criterion or the unlimited tap of Zero Forcing is under noise-free case
It is all intuitively the inverse filter of hardware corridor, if it is considered that having difference between two kinds of criterion.Under MMSE criterion, calibrator is taken out
Head compensates additive noise and hardware corridor distortion, and compensation includes two aspects of phase and amplitude;And it is quasi- based on force zero
LTE then ignores the influence of noise, and since the general power of antenna calibration signal is relatively high, SNR is bigger, can ignore noise
It influences, so can generally be met the requirements using zero forcing algorithm.

By periodical complex vectormThe calibrating sequence vector of each antenna element is obtained,
K=1 ... N, wherein periodical complex vectormInI=1 ..., P, k=1 ..., N;Herein, no
The same calibrating sequence is used with antenna element.
When generating the basic sequence difference of calibrating sequence, the calibrating sequence of each antenna is all different.In the present invention,
Since the calibrating sequence transmission of antenna can be staggered completely in time, the calibrating sequence of antenna can also be identical, this hair
It is bright to use one group of m calibrating sequence.
Total calibrating sequence is obtained by the calibrating sequence vector of each antenna element, the length Lall=P+ of total calibrating sequence
(N-1)*win。

It calibrates and is suitble to narrowband monosystem number calibrated channel, such as shown in Fig. 4 (a), each antenna calibration sequence length P is greater than the sequence window sent
Long win then needs using Fig. 4 (b) or Fig. 4 (c), in Fig. 4 (b), each antenna calibration sequence length P wideband training
Win long equal to the sequence window of transmission, in Fig. 4 (c), each antenna calibration sequence length P is less than the long win of sequence window sent, makes
The training sequence for obtaining wantonly two antennas cannot be overlapped.
Training sequence of the invention is sent using Fig. 4 (b) or Fig. 4 (c) mode.Preferably, in order to guarantee adjacent two
The M sequence of antenna does not have any overlapping, generally setting win=P+p1, wherein P is that the calibrating sequence of each antenna element is long
Degree, win are the window length of each of the links channel estimation, p1=1,2 ... 3, as long as the length of general p1 be greater than different antennae it
Between maximum delay difference, because of the general very little of delay inequality between different antennae, only several sampled points.
Further, P=2^K, wherein P is the calibrating sequence length of each antenna element, and K is positive integer.Herein,
The power side that P is selected as 2 is more convenient.
